XBOX CASUALS EPISODE 59: Epic Games Lays Off 1000 Employees as Industry Continues Its Spiral

This week on Xbox Casuals

The gaming world feels a little all over the place right now.

This week on Xbox Casuals, Corey Dirrig and Josh Finney break down the March 2026 Xbox Partner Preview and its 19 reveals before shifting to the tougher side of the industry, including Epic Games laying off over 1,000 employees as Fortnite engagement declines and costs continue to rise, leading to the shutdown of modes like Ballistic and Rocket Racing. It’s a reminder that even the biggest companies are chasing profitability as budgets grow and development timelines get longer.

This and more on Xbox Casuals.
